Prytania Media Founders Launch Two New AAA Gaming Studios
Prytania Media has two new AAA studios working under their banner as the company revealed Dawon Entertainment and Fang & Claw today.
Prytania Media decided they needed two new studios to make video games out of, so they revealed their plans to launch a pair under their banner. The company has previously launched studios in the past, including Possibility Space and Crop Circle Games, although we haven't really seen much of anything produced by either studio yet. The two new names on the block are Fang & Claw and Dawon Entertainment. The reveal was made this morning by Jeff Strain (co-founder of ArenaNet, co-founder of Undead Labs, Crop Circle Games, Possibility Space, co-founder and President of Studios, Prytania Media) and Annie Delisi Strain (co-founder of Undead Labs, Crop Circle Games, Possibility Space, co-founder and CEO Prytania Media), as the two new studios join their family of companies. But much like the previous two, we have no clue what they're working on as they failed to tell us any projects in the works. You can read about both studios below.
Fang & Claw
Fang & Claw is creating the next evolution of fantasy combat sports for the rapidly growing competitive-play market. With a $3M seed investment by Transcend Fund, the studio is built around a veteran team including:
